VotesforSchools

VotesforSchools' mission is simple: we want children and young people to be informed, curious and heard.

Every week, we give our voters the chance to have a say on the issues that matter to them, and those which will affect them in the future. They build a respect for democratic action and an understanding of the power of youth voice by participating in balanced, topical and discussion-led sessions that conclude with a vote. The results of their vote are then collated and shared with changemakers, influential bodies and experts, massively raising the profile of youth voice.

Our turnout often exceeds 60,000 votes from 5-18-year olds around the UK, and in the last year alone our VoteTopics have covered key issues from knife crime to misogyny to child poverty to elections.
